C Correct answer
Explanation

While the Milky Way's galactic center (which likely hosts a supermassive black hole) has extremely strong gravity, the question's phrasing is problematic. Gravity at the center of a black hole is infinite according to general relativity (singularity), making this a theoretical rather than measurable comparison. Jupiter has the strongest surface gravity of planets in our solar system, but black hole gravity far exceeds anything else.
